1991 Rubicon Trail.... The blue Jeep is my 1986 CJ7, 4.2L with a NP435 to Dana300, Detroit locker and Summers Brothers axles in the AMC 20 rear, a powerlok front D30 axle, both with 4.10 gears...
ya i watch all the offroad channels and just laugh at how bad they are. if not for the multi-mode traction settings, lockers and people holding their fucking hands, none of them would know what to fucking do or how to crawl over rocks.
Man, thanks for sharing! brings back memories of the pre-pirates era, stock-ish rigs and tons of fun!! Haven't seen so many chrome covers on Dana 30's in at least 25 years HaHa! After wheeling many years with big tires, ect. just ran the Rubicon again 3 weeks ago on 7.50-16 bias plies, and had a BLAST!
@@hrdrokn i used to drive those trails in California in my 74 cj5 on 31s. This was early 90s. Have the trails gotten significantly harder? Like from erosion and being driven?
As I watch this I'm noticing some cool things here. Starting in gear, and the fact most of these are manuals. Lots of gear in those smaller jeeps, and trash bags on the rear long before sak-its or trasharoos. I also like cameras with zooms, something go pros lack.
@@cw50must Yes, the manual was the preferred trans in those days.... I still run a manual today, no clutch, start and stop in gear. The blue CJ7 was running about 74 to 1 in low range. Today I prefer 85 to 130 to 1 for a manual.

And no one trying to drive over you because you don’t have lockers.
3 pedals and a carb.

Driving what?
I just got off the Rubicon. Basically 75% of the rigs were on tons and 40s. Takes the challenge out of it
Real men wear jorts and drive stock carborated Jeeps at high altitude. Impressive !
Nice flashback
stick shift and 33s.make wheeling great again!now its 38s auto and locckers,so easyyourgrandma can doit
That would be a good bumper sticker! Lol.
Awesome video, I have a 83 cj7 and want to take it to Rubicon next year, I'm local so should be a blast!
I'm doing the rubicon next year in my Jeep, no front locker on 33's and the one thing I need for the Journey....a cow bell.
Just found my dads film pictures from the 92 jamboree, wild to see actual video from the same years.
Its crazy to see how much the trail has xhanges since then 😮. Cool rigs getting it done, sine looked like they had street tires😅
Back before 40" holes were dug by unskilled throttle jockeys trying to compensate. 265/85r16 with stock suspension and a grin plastered on your face!
The bell works😂
Fun to see the stockish Jeeps go where people think you need a $100000 Jeep on 40s.
Definitely... although I think these rigs would be up against it on todays Rubicon!

@@fredeschen3783 That and I believe there have been some enthusiastic trail builders over the years....
@@fredeschen3783 gotten Easier with all the traffic people moving stuff around and making bypasses
@@fredeschen3783
V8 or 6 cyl?
3 or 4 speed?
Thanks for sharing truly enjoyed it
many retro-jeeps is new)
Nice to see Little Sluice in it's pre-gravel era
It had a lot more gravel back then. Early 2000s were the big boulders. Now it’s in between the two, but It’s a lot harder now then in this video
Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing.

A have a '73 needing an engine,trans, and transfercase if you know of any.
Back then 100k for a truck meant you were hauling a house or something.
Sliders, what sliders? Ran it several times with my YJ on 33s. Awsome video
All these crappy AMC era straight sixes with their garbage single barrel carbs that flood if you look at them sideways!!! I know, we had one!
